A parcel is transported along a horizontal conveyor belt at a sorting depot.
The horizontal force on the parcel from the belt is 2.8 N2.8\text{ N}2.8 N. The parcel moves a distance of 0.75 m0.75\text{ m}0.75 m.
State the equation linking work done, force, and distance.
Calculate the work done in moving the parcel.
State how much energy is transferred to the parcel.
The conveyor belt stops suddenly, and the upright parcel tips over onto its side.
How does this affect the kinetic energy of the parcel once it has fully come to rest?
Why does tipping over onto its side reduce the gravitational potential energy of the parcel?
